Application filed February 9, 1903. serialNo. 142,529. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL S. Goss, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Chicago, county of Cook, State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Mixing Devices, of whichthe following is a specification, reference being bad to theaccompanying drawings, forming a part thereof.

My invention relates to improvements in mixing devices, and particularlyto hand-operated devices adapted for use inbar-rooms, drug-stores,restaurants, and the like for combining and mixing a granular orpulverized materialsuch as salts of various kinds, powders, &c.-withwater or other liquid.

My invention comprises a conveyor for graduallyfeeding material from areceiver into a tumbler or similar drinking vessel removabl-y' arrangedbeneath same and means for simultaneously stirring the liquid in thesaid tumbler and into which the said material is being fed.

The main object of my invention is to quickly, easily, and thoroughlymix a solid and a liquid directly in the vessel from which the combinedbeverage is to be drunk.

' I will now proceed to describe, with reference to the accompanyingdrawings, a device embodying my invention and will then point out thenovel features in claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is aview in cen tral vertical section of amixing device constructed accordingto my invention, the section beingtaken substantially upon the plane of the line 1 1 of Fig. 2. of same.Fig. 3 is a view in partial side elevation and partial central sectionof a mixing device constructed according to my inven-' tion, but havinga slightly-diderent formto that shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

- Referring more particularly at first to Figs.

1 and 2, the device illustrated is provided with an open-toppedreservoir 1, terminating at its base in'a tube or housing 2, arranged toreceive a conveyor 3. The reservoir is secured to a flanged cover 4,adapted to removably engage and rest upon atumbler or similar drinkingvessel. The conveyor 3 is mounted upon a vertical shaft 5, journaled ina bearing in a fixed frame 6, secured to the reservoir. The upper end ofthe shaft 5 carries Fig. 2 is a top View a miter-gear 7, which mesheswith a similar miter-gear 8, carried by a horizontal shaft 9.Hand-operated means 10 are provided for'rotating the shaft 9. The lowerend of the sha'ft'5 is provided with a stirrer 11, which projects belowthe con veyer 3 and the flanged cover-plate 4 andis adapted to enter thedrinking vessel with which the device is at that moment employed.

A handle 12 is provided by which the device may be held steadily by onehand while the hand-operated means 10is operated by the other hand.Operation of the hand-operated means will simultaneously operate theconveyer and the stirrer.

To employ the device, a tumbler or similar drinking vessel will first besupplied with water or other liquid, and the said drinking vessel willthen be arranged beneath the memher 4. Material to be mixed with theliquid will be supplied to the reservoir 1, and the device will besteadied by the handle 12 or otherwise while the hand-operated means isrotated. 'By this means the'material from the reservoir 1 will begradually fed into the liquid in the tumbler, and the said liquid willbe simultaneously stirred by the action of the stirrer l1 immersedtherein. The result will be an edect-ive, rapid, and thorough mixing oftheingredients.

In Fig. 3 I have shown a somewhat simplified form of device, in whichthe gearing? 8 is eliminated and the hand-operated means 10 aresecnred'directly to the vertical stirrer and conveyor-shaft. The handle12 is also shown in this view as somewhat difierently arranged, and itwill be obvious that many modifications of the precise form,constructionpand combination of parts herein shown are possible withinthe spiritand scope of my invention.

hat I claim isa 1. In a mixing device the combination with a receiver,of a conveyer for gradually feed- .ing material therefrom into a tumbleror similar drinking vessel removably arranged beneath same, a stirrerprojectingbelow said conveyor and arranged to enter the said drinkingvessel, and means for simultaneously operating the conveyor and thestirrer.

2. In a mixing device the combination with a receiver and a supportingmember adapted to engage the rim of a tumbler or similar drinkingvessel, of a conveyer for gradually feeding material from the receiverinto the said drinking vessel, a stirrer projecting below said conveyerand arranged to enter the said drinking vessel, and means forsimultaneously operating the conveyer and the stirrer.

3. In a mixing device the combination with areceiver anda handletherefor, ofa conveyer for gradually feeding material from the receiver,into a tumbler or similar drinking vessel removably arranged beneathsame, a stirrer projecting below said conveyer and arranged to enter thesaid drinking vessel, and means for simultaneously operating theconveyer and the stirrer.

4. In a mixing device the combination with a receiver of a conveyer forgradually feeding material therefrom into a tumbler or similar drinkingvessel removably arranged beneath same, a vertical shaft for saidconveyer, a stirrer secured to said vertical shaft, beneath saidconveyer, and adapted and arranged to enter the said drinking vessel,and means for rotating said shaft.

5. In a mixing device, the combination with an open-topped,funnel-shaped receiver, of a conveyer forgradually feeding materialtherefrom into a tumbler or similar drinking vessel removably arrangedbeneath same, a stirrer projecting below said conveyer and arranged toenter the said drinking vessel, and means for simultaneously operatingthe conveyer and the stirrer.

6. In a mixing device the combination with a flanged cover adapted torest upon the rim of a tumbler or similar drinking vessel, and anopen-topped, downwardly-convergent receiver secured thereto, of aconveyer for conveying material from the receiver, into a tumbler orsimilar drinking vessel with which the device is at that moment engaged,a stirrer projecting below said conveyer and arranged to enter the saiddrinking vessel, and means for simultaneously operating the conveyer andthe stirrer.
